Hi, I’m Maksym Kondratiew — a designer who got tired of screens and turned to wood, glass, and light.I used to design interfaces, reaching millions through pixels. But over time, that contact felt hollow. I needed a different connection — not through cursors, but through my hands. That’s how my lamps were born.
⠀
They are more than just light. They are a way to slow down the chaos. To take something old, forgotten — and give it new life. Each lamp I make comes from real materials, real effort, and a real desire to create warmth, not just a “product.”
⠀
I’m not an industrial designer. I’m a product, furniture, and freeform designer. My work doesn’t shout — it glows.
⠀
Here I share my process, struggles, inspiration, and growth. If you’re drawn to the kind of light our grandfathers might have passed down — light that warms rather than blinds — you’re in the right place.
⠀
Through design, I change the world — even if just for a few evenings in someone’s home.

New project! An USB powered LED desk lamp made of wood, ceramic, and aluminum. It will be called "Portuaria", which in Spanish means "related to the port", because its shape reminds me of the cranes and sailboats at the port.
